M18-reflective photoelectric sensor, npn, nc, sn=3.0M
M2sensors Inc. NEW M18 Barrel Type Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor. Long Range 3.0M
RETROREFLECTIVE OPERATING PRINCIPLE: The light-emitting diode (LED) emits a beam of modulated ligth which is focused by means of a lens and directed towards a reflector. Filters are selected and adjsuted in such a way that only the light returning from the reflector reaches the receiver. This ensures reliable detection results even with bright shiny targets, which otherwise could not be detected. Furthermore, thanks to the optics used, the operating distance is increased considerably. An object interrupting the light beam which passes from the emitter via the reflector to the receiver causes the output to switch. For reliable operation, the target should be at least equal to the diameter of the reflector.
SENSOR PURCHASE INCLUDES: Mounting hardware, (2 nuts), Hardwired 2m Cable & 4 page specification manual.
GENERAL PURPOSE CLASSIFICATION:
Units will detect objects of different colors and surface textures
* Saves Space - only one unit is necessary
* Easy to adjust the beam on the reflector
* Can detect transparent and non-transparent objects
* Can detect different colors
This is a NPN, NC switch. It has a relatively long range detection distance with a sensing range of 3.0M, (Sn=3M). Ideal for long range part position and presence absense applications.
Keep the sensor lenses clean. Watch for mutual interfernce from neighboring senosrs and avoid dircecrt sunlight at the application.
